In 1971 two trains were founded to run between Albany, New York and Montreal, Canada which were the Montreal Limited(overnight trip) and Laurentian(morning/midday trip) both of whom were discontinued. In 1974 the Adirondack was made into two branches to travel between NYC and Montreal. The traveler would leave Grand Central Terminal on the train to Albany where they would have to wait for the train to Montreal. This was later made into one branch.
